I often drive by this little lake in Forest Park, St. Louis and have always wanted to sit and do a plein air painting there; on Saturday I had the good fortune to do so. I first walked around the lake to find a vantage point I liked, and then found a park bench and painted. It was a warmish day, threatening rain from time to time. Some wading birds came nearby several times, fishing intently. I kept a close eye on them as they came close; perhaps they were wanting to see my painting... :) I was there for about an hour before a few intermittent raindrops caused me to pack up my gear and head back to shelter.
